Re: Does backtrack mount drives, ie HD/Swap as read only?

When launching from hard drive, my BT never mounts anything unless I tell it to (but the swap and of course the volume being used...).
For the LiveCD, I'm not so sure, but there is a forensic mode if you don't want to leave traces.

(I think there is a method called cold boot to extract data from RAM after reboot. I can't be certain though...

Re: Does backtrack mount drives, ie HD/Swap as read only?

So then the Backtrack live cd default boot mode will mount the host HD and hosts swap, and potentially write information about my activities to the disks on the host computer?
How much of my Live session would be recoverable?
Any idea how what kind of things would be left behind?
